The 50 best restaurants to have dinner in Rovinj (2025)

7 lists

Food was good, but in line with what other restaurants in the area provide. A bit pricey, but I guess you also pay for the view which ia amazing - I happened to be there at sunset.Service was good, waiter was helpful. Although I made a reservation right in the restaurant, it wasn’t registered for some reason, but they managed to find a nice table quickly.Not sure why they have the Michelin sign shown outside.Anyway definitely a place to try for a lovely experience.

Puntalina Rovinj is a place that I have returned to for the third time, and it never disappoints. The location is truly amazing, and being able to enjoy great food while watching the sunset adds to the overall experience. The customer service provided is exceptional, making it an ideal choice for celebrating special occasions. I highly recommend booking in advance as it tends to get busy. Personally, I always go for their specialty pasta, but my friends ordered the fish and it looked absolutely sensational. Overall, Puntalina Rovinj is a standout dining destination that leaves a lasting impression.

The food was good, but not exceptional. Our waiter was very friendly and polite. However, based on my previous experiences, I’m not sure why this restaurant is on the Michelin list. The prices are reasonable and align with the quality of the food. If you want to enjoy tasty food with a beautiful view, I highly recommend this place.

I spent my birthday here and I cannot be happier. The service was great, the food amazing and the wine recommendation a hit. I booked in advanced mentioning it was my birthday and they made it very special. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone coming to Rovinj.

Had an amazing meal (Octopus Spring Salad & Catch of the Day in black Truffle Sauce) in an amazing location with amazing wait staff. Everyone was friendly, very knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. Be sure to make a booking especially if it is near the sunset as it is a popular place (for good reason!). A little more expensive than other restaurants, but in my opinion the value for the price was very good as this is not your everyday meal.

Beautiful location with sea-view but food-quality quite poor and very small portions. Presentation of food looks good. If you don’t care about the food but just want a spot with nice view and sunset … this is the one !

I really do not know from where to start…..This is definitely the place to eat - enjoy the marvellous food, extraordinary atmosphere and more than perfect service.Our waitress was Michaela- very friendly, smiled and super sweet - we thank her for the hospitality!!!All of the starters we tried were phenomenal, the pasta with shrimps and sea bass with herbs as well!!!Absolutely fabulous, happiness, food coma, love ❤️

One of the best local restaurant. found this gem by surprise but all dishes are super good.

Absolutely stunning place to have dinner. The food was delicious, staff friendly and view was incredible, will be a meal I will remember for a long time.

Absolutely amazing experience! I recommend the teriyaki starters it was amazing. Big shout out to Ivica who was absolutely exceptional & polite. Would recommend to anyone! Thankyou for a lovely meal

The food was decent, but it didn't meet the expectations set by Michelin. Guess there would be better view during day time. They charged a service fee of €4 per person, claiming it was for the bread, yet we were never served any. When we inquired about it, they said they had simply forgotten the bread. This was particularly disappointing, as we didn't encounter such a charge at any of the other restaurants we visited in Croatia (over 10 in total). Based on the service we received, I wouldn't recommend this place.

Great food ,very nice service,black truffel sauce was the best I ever ate nice perfectly cooked sea bass ,starter was very nice

Subpar food on a scenic spot. Never a good sign to be at seaside and get a stale store bought bread topped with butter and salmon (???) as an amuse bouche. Why not use anchovies, baccalà, or something else caught from the sea? With the house recommended shrimps in oil with garlic and chili comes a basket with three varieties of store bought bread. Two out of three were completely stale. Shrimps are not properly cleaned, chili is tossed in with seeds and a whole load of pink peppercorns as well as a fried phyllo that ads absolutely nothing to the dish. Scampi buzara were overcooked and the sauce was bland. Also found a hair in the food. Disappointing experience food wise but the view makes up for a bit at least. Overpriced for what it is. Also great when they charge more than 7€ for water.

Super nice spot. Location hard to beat by any alternative. Food and wine was also good- probably tasted better due to the scenery. Overall- great. Thank you for a very pleasant start into our family holidays. I hope I will be coming again some time soon.

The walk there was worth the effort. Exceptionally friendly service, english menu available, best fuži pasta I ever had and ordered two (yes) mille feuille because the first one was so good. As expected, the dishes were pricy, but the sunset view and the calm music playing outdoors made up for it.

The tables directly on the cliffs offer an amazing experience, especially during sunset.The food was tasty and the staff has been friendly and attentive.

We visited for a special meal during our stay in Rovinj. We booked the romantic tables by the water but unfortunately, due to the high winds, we had to move. The restaurant was full so we sat on the terrace, which was still windy, but did not spoil our experience at all.The staff were fun and were able to laugh at the situation, despite it being difficult to work in the windy conditions. At one point another diners carpaccio flew off his plate!We had a nice bottle of red wine, which also acted as a counterweight to keep our table cloth down!I had the Shrimps in Garlic & Oil followed by the Ribeye Steak, medium rare and cooked perfectly. My partner had the Scollops followed by Seabass Fillets, and she was very happy with her meal.We dined during sunset, which was a little cloudy but still enjoyed the view. We then moved to another covered terrace to finish our wine and the last of the sunset.It was great experience, despite Mother Nature. We will definitely visit again earlier in the season next time. Thank you.

Solid food with a great view and even better service! We came for our reservation slightly late, but we still got a great table with a beautiful view. Our red-haired waitress was very professional, friendly and attentive. The food was very good, not great, but the service and the views definitely made it worth coming.

Food was very tasty but it will not leave you with the “wow” effect. We were rather surprised with the fact that it was on the Michelin guide. Rather on the pricey side - but you definately pay the price for the great view.

Honest review, tl,dr: gorgeous food, briliant cocktails, and a view you can’t really beat; the restaurant gives onto the coast of Rovinj and the Adriatic. Service definitely could be polished, kudos to the lady who after a not great start was amazing, funny, friendly but very polite, her rating is 5, that brings it to the total of 4 stars. Still highly recommended!Food: brilliant food, we had the catch of the day in black truffle sauce and an octopus salad, then an authentic tiramisu. Was fantastic! We paid 130 EUR, tip included.Service: we asked the waiter if the restaurant could seat us without a reservation, the waiter took long to come back with answer but didn’t show us to the table, but rather kept us waiting. Then this fantastic lady took care of us, kudos to her, without her, I would have been genuinely disappointed, the rest of the staff was pretty unfriendly, maybe it was a hot day, but still.Atmosphere: good vibes, elegant setting, amazing view, book a table in days advance at sunset!

I am often a solo traveler as I enjoy it. What I have learned is that restaurants and other establishments that provide the same level of service regardless of party size are the best ones to frequent. For a Michelin guide restaurant incredibly disappointed. I was not asked if I would like my food coursed, my one plate sat empty on corner of table for 15, I then stacked plates, another 10 minutes, when the server came… she did not ask if I wanted more wine (which I did) or offer me the dessert menu… which I mentioned when ordering my apps. My glasses sat completely empty for another 15 though the two servers visited tables around me.I have lived in Croatia for more than 3 years, and this is my worst experience by far.Additionally the food, was bland and the shrimp had minimal flavor.I had been a few years ago and was excited to return, but will advise all my friends of another restaurant in the area which provided exemplary food and service.
